Why was VYP Started?

The founders of VYP sought an organization for young Vermont professionals to call their own. They wanted an entity that could help new graduates find strong networks for guidance and socializing; that could help new Vermonters get “plugged into” their communities; and that could help the next generation of Vermonters inherit and lead the state. After recognizing that these interests were not unique to themselves, the founders created VYP in the spring of 2009.
